Job Level
About the role
- Run the daily Regulatory Watch (≈50% of your time): Use Corlytics to monitor eight European markets, perform triage on regulatory alerts, and route them to the correct stakeholders (including the AML team).
- Support Payment Compliance: Ensure customer protection by helping analyze payment rules, client claims, account suspensions, and T&Cs changes.
- Act as an Internal Counsel: Read and interpret legal texts across different European countries and explain complex regulatory constraints to non-legal stakeholders.
- Lend a hand on ad-hoc projects: Support the team on evolving regulatory priorities (like the Credit License) and jump in for short support missions (e.g., 1-2 days) for other regulatory sub-teams.
Requirements
- Education: You are an M1 or M2 student strictly pursuing a degree in Law (Private Law, Business Law, European/Local Law, or a bi-licence). A specialization in Compliance or Financial Regulation is a great plus.
- Legal Comprehension: You have strong analytical skills to read and understand legal texts across various European countries, grasping the core legal logic.
- Synthesis & Prioritization: You can easily triage a large volume of daily alerts, spot what is truly relevant for Qonto, and route it efficiently.
- Communication: You are fluent in English and can explain legal conclusions simply to non-legal teams. Knowledge of French, Italian, Spanish, or German is a bonus.
- Curiosity & Adaptability: You have a genuine interest in Fintech and the agility to seamlessly switch between your daily regulatory watch and ad-hoc team support.
Benefits
- Work in a fast-paced, diverse environment at one of France's unicorns.
- Gain hands-on experience in fintech compliance across four European markets.
- Collaborate with a supportive, business-oriented team of 6 professionals and 1 lead (Guilhem).
- Be at the forefront of regulatory challenges in the dynamic fintech industry.
- Use your analytical skills to contribute to real-world compliance solutions.
